Summary

We never get an instruction manual about how money works. We never have to pass a test to get our Money Licence before we can take a new credit card for a drive. Most of what we learn about money comes from advertising or from other people who know as little as we do. No wonder so many of us just decide to stick our heads in the damn sand and never deal with it. When this book fi rst came out in 2018, Corona was just a beer, Cyril Ramaphosa still had that fresh-president smell and 'working from home' was code for 'unemployed'. A lot of shit's happened since then, so it's time for a refresh.
In this UPDATED AND EXPANDED edition of her bestselling book, money dork Sam Beckbessinger tells it to you straight once again.
You'll learn: • How to trick your dumb brain into saving more, without giving up fun • Why you need to forget everything you've learned about credit, buying cars and owning homes • Why investing's so much easier than you think (and why you've got to do it) • How to deal with 'black tax', expensive kids and ageing parents • How to get your head around rising in¬ ation, crypto and SA's two-pot retirement system
With exercises, fl owcharts and informative illustrations (also: kittens), this book is empowering and helpful – and f*cking funny, too.
You'll earn millions of rands over your lifetime. Are you going to waste it on stupid crap that doesn't make you happy, or let it buy you your freedom and your most audacious dreams?
Available since: 09/01/2026.
Print length: 320 pages.

    I sit by your bed and watch you, as I sometimes do. There are days when you are so beautiful and vivacious and alive, we cannot believe that you are going to die. Other days, we are convinced you are at death's door and that this, this is the day that we will lose you … Now I bear witness to the disease that is eating you up alive, ravaging your physical shell. I look at your wasted body, once so slim and graceful; at the jaundiced pallor of your once perfect skin stretched tight around the still lovely bones of your face; at the way shadows collect in the hollows around your eyes and your collarbones. And very slowly, inside me, something small starts to crack. A tiny fissure that spreads and widens, before splitting open entirely to let something hot and liquid well up like molten lava, threatening to spill out the sides of my mouth, as rich and bitter and metallic as blood. Is this then what heartbreak feels like?

The Magic Circle tells the story of what happens when Charmaine Chan’s sister Elaine is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. As the illness progresses, family members living on different continents gather together during Elaine’s last days. Striving to distract Elaine from the worst effects of the cancer, Charmaine takes to the pen: conjuring up the vanished world of their childhood in Singapore, and discovering a way to keep her promise to Elaine’s six-year-old daughter. 
 
 
A contemplation on grief and loss, nostalgia and yearning, The Magic Circle is for anyone who’s been torn apart and put back again by the inexplicable power of memory.
